New Graduate Students and Family Housing

• If you are for graduate student housing, you must first apply and be officially admitted to the University Graduate School in order to apply for housing. Once you have been admitted to the University, e-mail the following information to housing@saffairs.msstate.edu in order to have a myHousing account created: your full name, your nine-digit MSU ID number, your MSU NetID, and your academic classification for the semester for which you wish to apply . Housing assignments are made based on a variety of factors including, but not limited to, your date of application for admission, your roommate request and his/her date of application for admission, your participation in learning communities, and others, until April 1 for those admitted before April 1. For students admitted after April 1 or who submit housing preferences after April 1, assignments will be made based on the date of your submission of the housing preferences and payment of the non-refundable reservation fee. Roommate requests may not be accepted after April 1. A non-refundable $55 reservation fee is required. The reservation fee is payable by check, money order, or credit card.
